HB 67 requires all elections to authorize general obligation bonds or approve ad valorem tax increases to be held in November, removing the ability to call such elections at other times. It also raises the voter approval threshold for bonds and tax increases from a simple majority to two-thirds in most cases. Several sections of the Tax, Election, and Special District codes are amended to reflect these new voting thresholds and notification procedures.
